How not to bomb on St. Paddy's Day

Submitted by Amy Roe on Tuesday, March 16th, 09:53am

Wednesday is St. Patrick’s Day, which means lots of folks will crowd into pubs to order a drink called an Irish car bomb.

They won’t be serving them at Conor Byrne in Ballard.

Owner Diarmuid Cullen said he thinks the drink’s name is insensitive and likens ordering one to “walking into a bar in lower Manhattan and ordering a 'Flight 93.'”

An Irish car bomb is made by dropping a shot comprised of Bailey’s Irish Cream and Jameson’s Irish Whiskey into a pint of Guinness.

It's not just the Irish. All “bomb” drinks—in which a shot is dropped into a glass of beverage— do more than break a lot of glasses, Cullen said. They can trigger unruly behavior. Conor Byrne doesn’t serve any of them.

Besides, Cullen doesn’t think his dad would be proud “if he knew I was messing up a pint of Guinness.”

Video captures Magnolia gas station robbery in progress

Submitted by Shomari Stone on Monday, March 15th, 07:05pm

Surveillance video captured a robbery in action at a gas station Sunday morning.

The video shows the thief breaking a window of the store on West Government Way and climbing through.

"It's upsetting," said gas station owner Georgette Nasif. "It's frustrating; it cost a lot of money."

The crook took cigarettes valued at $700.

"I mean, they're taking some cigarettes," Nasif said. "They broke in three windows a door. It's a very large expense, just to take some cigarettes for the fun of it."

Good thing the cash register was empty, but that didn't stop him from looking around for a safe under the counter. He came up empty.

Nasif said it's frustrating because it's the second time they've been robbed in less than two weeks. In that instance, two bandits broke in, found an undisclosed amount of cash and ran away. But they were a sloppy, dropping cigarette packs on the ground, and hurrying to pick them up.

Georgette plans on getting additional security, more cameras, and putting bars on the windows.

Tips on the robbery can be called in to Seattle police.
